As always! :o)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well Sir, the place
isamazing." Captain Carter looked at the General who gave
a small smile before she proceeded, "Tiahuanaco is a paradise
cocooned inside a pyramid. However the main room is open roofed. The
plant life is sustained naturally. The place is riddled with
passages, rooms andeh pits." Sam finished by casting a
smirk at Jack who glared at her good naturedly.
"Dr. Jackson?"
"Well, I've made a
few discoveries but I can't place them. I don't recognize all of
the symbols, in fact only a few of them look familiar. I think we can
now be positive that it is Tiahuanaco, but it seems to be there for a
reason. This place has incorporated itself into Earth's history.
There are so many things that seem to have weaved their way into our
lives. I'd go as far as to say they've even become a part of our
evolution."
"What exactly are
you saying, Doctor Jackson?"
"I believe that this
place was used by a race of beings who considered themselves some
sort of...'minder' for our race."
"A minder?"
Jack asked raising his eyebrows.
"Yes. I believe that
the evolution of the human race might have been influenced further
than we think."
"You mean you think
that some alien race might have been coming to Earth and helping us
to evolve?" Sam asked eyes open in wonder.
"It's just one
theory...it, eh...it actually just occurred to me." Daniel
admitted sheepishly.
"Well." General
Hammond drew all attention back to him, "I want to put SG1 on
stand down for a few days to let Captain Carter and Doctor Jackson
work on their findings from P3X 783. Teal'c I'd like you to accompany
SG3 to P4Y 773 at 1800, they're one man short," Teal'c nodded,
"and Colonel, if I'm not mistaken, I believe I'm due at least
three reports."
Sam smirked in Jack's
direction and he narrowed his eyes at her as the General dismissed
them. They headed for the door, Sam and Jack walking side by side as
the others followed them.
"This is wrong."
Daniel frowned at
Kaitlyn, hearing the muttered sentence and followed her gaze to Sam
and Jack as the walked down the hall, smiling and talking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack groaned and threw
another crumpled piece of paper into the bin. He had been working on
his reports for the last hour and had, so far managed to do very
little other than improve his aim, and even then, only marginally. He
grinned at the overflowing bin, knowing that Sam would lecture him on
how much easier computers were to use, not to mention more
environmentally friendly.
The truth was, he enjoyed
writing, regardless of the fact he never thought he had anything
interesting to say. The feel of actually writing made him feel like
he was...no, he was just a terrible typist.
There was a soft knock at
the door and he smiled, "Come in, Carter."
He was greeted with a
warm lopsided smile and a pair of beautiful, twinkling blue eyes,
"How did you know it was me?"
He smiled, leaning back
into his chair, "Daniel doesn't knock,Teal'c is more heavy
handed and any other personnel's knock sounds more official." He
smiled as she gently closed the door behind her, "But I'm sure
you didn't come here just to hear me analyze your knocking skills.
What's up, Captain?"
Sam's face became more
serious and she frowned a little, "I was looking into the
computer database and I noticed something that has either been
overlooked or hushed up,"
"Hushed up?" he
asked with a raised brow.
"There was something
different about the dialing when Kaitlyn arrived here."
"What?" He
leaned forward but pulled back again as she walked around his desk to
stand beside his chair before leaning over him to flick on the
computer. After (slowly) entering his password, he watched her pull
up a folder of gate activation from the last few days and enter the
correct date and approximate time. She pulled back a little so that
their faces were practically side by side as they watched the file
opening in front of them.
"Eh...Carter...Why
did nine chevrons lock?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So...you planning
on telling me what's bothering you?"
Kaitlyn glanced at Daniel
before turning back to the notebook in front of her, scribbling what
Daniel was sure was nonsense.
"I don't know what
you mean."
Daniel smiled and leaned
against the desk so that he was looking down at her, "I may not
have known you for very long, Kaitlyn, but I'd like to think that in
the two days I have that I've grown slightly accustomed to your
moods. And there's definitely something bothering you."
Kaitlyn looked up at him,
her lips quirked into a half smile, "Remind me to make more of
an effort to try and hide things from you in the future." She
let out a short breath of air that Daniel was sure was meant to be a
laugh, but it came out more as a sound of defeat.
"Things aren't
right...and I think I know why...but I can't be sure."
"What's not right?"
"I can't tell you.
Just incase I'm wrong."
Daniel sighed, "Look,
Kaitlyn, I understand that this is difficult but I can't help you if
you don't explain."
She gazed up at him, then
closed her eyes. Placing her pen on the desk, she looked into his
eyes, "Go back to your research. There's something you need to
discover before I can even think of telling you and before you ask,
no, I won't tell you anything more. You need to figure this out for
yourself. That's the way it's meant to happen."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Frowning again at the
screen in front of him, Daniel leaned in closer only to sigh and
remove his glasses, rubbing his eyes to keep himself more awake. The
video footage moved further along the wall and Daniel watched out for
any engraved symbol that might help him discover what this was.
So far it looked to him
like a timeline of events, but he couldn't be completely sure as
every other line of engravings was written in a different language.
"Hathor?"
Daniel jumped up in surprise and hit the rewind button as Kaitlyn
came up behind him and peered over his shoulder, "It says
'Hathor, reawakened from slumber, fails in her seduction and life is
saved.' This has to be a timeline, but I don't understand how it can
be up to date and why this part's written in French!"
Frustrated, Daniel fell back into his seat as Kaitlyn tried to keep
her smirk under wraps.
"Always thought her
name was fitting."
"Huh?" Daniel
looked up at her questioningly.
Kaitlyn smiled openly and
made her way back to the desk, "Hathor...the Great Celestial Cow
Goddess of Egypt."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alarm Klaxons echoed
throughout the base. General Hammond hurried his way to the control
room and was, not surprisingly, met there by Colonel O'Neill, Captain
Carter, Dr. Jackson and Kaitlyn.
"What's happening?"
Hammond asked Lieutenant Simmons, who was furiously tapping at his
computer keys.
"There's an
unscheduled gate activation from P4Y 773. SG3's code is being
transmitted."
"Open the Iris."
General Hammond stared at the opening wormhole before turning to Jack
and following the three officers and Dr. Jackson down to the Gate
Room.
A voice rang through the
mountain calling for a medical team as a bloodied Teal'c fell
ungraciously through the Stargate, cradling the limp body of one
Lieutenant Carey, SG3's second in command.
Rushing to their aid,
Jack pulled the smaller man from Teal'c's grasp as the Jaffa signaled
that the Iris should be closed...and quickly. Before the metal guard
had completed its circle, a young man dressed in a long robe
appeared, gun outstretched, only to be cut in half by the closing
iris.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SG1 plus Kaitlyn and Dr.
Fraiser sat around the debriefing table awaiting the arrival of
General Hammond. A few moments later, the elder man appeared and
quickly took his seat at the head of the table.
"Doctor, how is
Lieutenant Carey?"
"He's injured badly.
I'm not sure exactly what powered those weapons, but whatever it was,
it made quite an impact. His condition is stable and all I can do is
wait for the results. They should be ready within the hour. If it's
OK Sir, I'd like to get back to the infirmary." General Hammond
nodded and Janet smiled tightly before leaving the room.
After a moments pause, he
looked back at the other occupants of the room, "Teal'c would
you please explain what happened on P4Y 773."
Kaitlyn watched with
dread as Teal'c inclined his bruised head and turned to look straight
ahead at that point he always seemed to focus on when talking to a
group.
"On arrival to P4Y
773 we spilt into two teams, each one taking an alternative route a
large structure in the distance. Colonel Hendry believed that the
MALP had picked up two possible sources of civilizations. She led
Lieutenant Blair through one route, while myself and Lieutenant Carey
followed a different path. It was not long before we reached the
structure, with no encounters. Shortly after arriving, we heard
gunfire and proceeded through the trees only to find both Colonel
Hendry and Lieutenant Blair dead. We were soon spotted and ran to the
Stargate. While dialing, Lieutenant Carey was hit by weapons fire. I
completed the dialing myself."
There was silence
throughout the room as Kaitlyn looked around wide eyed. It wasn't
long before Jack spoke, breaking the smothering silence.
"Hendry and Blair
were good Officers." He sighed as the others nodded in
agreement.
"Yes they were,
Colonel. And that is precisely why I , sending SG1 through to P4Y 773
in one..."
"NO!" Everyone
in the room turned to look at Kaitlyn as she stood, the speed of her
action causing her chair to fall to the floor behind her.
"Kaitlyn, I don't
think this..."
"No." She
looked straight at the General, her eyes watering slightly but her
stare deadly, "I won't let you send them. I won't let it happen
again."
"Kaitlyn, I
understand your situation, but I will not allow it to come before the
running of this facility."
"You understand
nothing!" She yelled, shocking everyone, including Daniel and
the General, "I will not let you do this."
"Kaitlyn I think we
might understand if you'd at least tell us why." Daniel pleaded,
trying to calm the situation.
"I can't."
Jack's anger surfaced as
he looked at the girl, "I don't know who the hell you think you
are but you can not..."
"Kaity
what's wrong?" All eyes turned to Sam as she spoke to the girl
softly, her eyes pleading as much as her tone. Kaity stared at her, a
single tear falling down her cheek, "Why don't you want us to
go?"
"Because
my mother died on P4Y 773!"
